I've been using the book: JPEG2000 Image Compression Fundamentals,
Standards and Practice

and it's quite good and in-depth. However it doesn't discuss the J2K
or MJ2 formats. Can anyone tell me a good book that covers these newer
additions to the standard in the same detail?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am not sure that you will find much information about .j2k, .jpc. They are
JPEG2000 codestreams not boxed by a jpeg2000 header. In theory these files
are not existing as the standard says that a jpeg2000 code stream saved to
file NEED to be boxed and then saved a .jp2. Part of JPEG2000 file is the
JPEG2000 box and one (or several) code stream. The raw codestream (without
the box) is a j2k file (this is what ADV212 calls J2C mode).

Motion JPEG 2000 have .mj2 or .mjp2 extensions according to RFC3745. This
format is defined in IOS/IEC 15444-3 and ITU-T T.802 so I guess your best
chance to know more about it is to look into this unfriendly literature. I
am not aware of any dedicated literature for these modes.

I hope that helps,

Arnaud

Thanks!

Thanks Arnaud!

I got my employer to spring for the ISO standards documents. If the
information isn't there I guess I'm on my own.

Also I finished analyzing the code you sent me and I want to thank
you. It should be exactly what I need. I will probably just port the
routines I need (the merge_YCrCb and the movie_create) into my code
(I'm using C not C++). It looks like exactly what I need.

Thanks again and I'll let you know how it goes.
